For any car enthusiast, the feel of the steering wheel itself (and the way it looks) is an integral part of a good ride. And considering they come in all shapes, sizes and materials, there's a wide array of options to choose from :thumbsup:
I prefer leather 3-spoke multi-functional steering wheels (not that I have the joy of owning one :p). The wooden ones are also very nice, but it's just not as good as quality leather ones I've tested :D
Some of people like steering wheels to be very primitive. What about you guys?

I like a 3 spoke wheel aswell.
One thing I'm very particular about is the position of the spokes, I very much prefer the spokes going to the 9, 3, and 6 positions on the wheel.

Yeah, have to say that leather 3 spoke wheel with positions like ryan said suites me the best. Wheel has to be also thick enough to give that nice feeling, god I hate those old japanese style steering wheels which feel like squeezing a pencil =)

I actually like a thinner wheel, with a fabric linning instead of leather.

Well, not so secretly, I've always wanted to have the kind of steering wheel like KITT had on Knight rider:lol:.
I'm so used to having a Chevy steering wheel, 4 and 8 two spoke I couldn't imagine any other. Actually come to think of it, the Mazda has a 3,6,9 with controlls:confused:. I spend so much time in the work truck I damn near forgot:lol:.

I had a nice Grant wood grain wheel I liked in my '72 Chevy pickup. I like the Leather wraped wheel in the '99 S-10 Xtreme I had too. Hated the wheel in the '95 Impala SS. Like the wheel in the '05 Scion tC and the '07 Dodge Ram. I wish my Ram had the leather though. I like the feel of a leather wrapped wheel in a regular car. I do like the padded race wheel feel though. I think the best would be the feel of a nice F1 wheel!!

I like the steering wheel on my Jeep. There isn't much special about it, but the holes on the bottom part are perfect for my hands when I'm driving.
